            COMMENDING WEBSTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT RETIREES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of 
sixteen exemplary teachers and staff members from the Webster City 
School District of Webster City, Iowa and to express my appreciation 
for their dedication and commitment to these schools and their 
community.
  Collectively these sixteen teachers and staff retirees have served 
the school district for 440 years. Among these notable faculty members: 
Linda Moenck served for 31 years, Dave Niggemeyer taught in the 
district for 35 years, Debra Niggemeyer as well as Gayle Olson served 
32 years, Carolee Woodward taught in the Webster City Schools for 41 
years, Donna Foster served for 24 years, JoAnn Robb as well as Sally 
Crouch served 30 years in the district, Mike Larson served 35 years, 
Gary Moenck has served 34 years, Faith McDowell served 12 years, Holly 
Riemenschneider taught for 9 years, John Kidney served the district for 
39 years, Sharon Conder served 9 years in the district's food services 
department, Karen Draeger served for 26 years, and Nancy Spire served 
21 years in the Webster City Schools.
  These educators and faculty and their dedicated service underscores 
the value that Iowa has always placed on education. Every student who 
has gone to school in Iowa knows a great teacher or faculty member like 
this group of sixteen, and every community in the state does everything 
it can to make sure students have the best possible chance to succeed. 
Iowans know that the best way to invest in the future of our state is 
to invest in the education of our children.
  I consider it an honor to represent these sixteen distinguished 
teachers and staff members of the Webster City Schools in the United 
States Congress, and I wish them all a long, happy and healthy 
retirement as they continue to serve their community.
